Doug is a just a normal guy. He lives in Deadwood, runs a store, and does his best to keep away from trouble when it rides into town. But when trouble comes looking for him - in the shape of a one-eyed, wounded gunfighter called Gabriel - Doug is drawn into his skewed world. Because Gabriel is here to find and kill Temple, a man he says is much more than a man. He's a demon. A demon with a particular mission in mind. Deadwood is about to get lively.—from publisher's website.

Death and destruction follow the demon wherever he treads, and Gabriel is rarely far behind, waiting for his chance to extinguish the creature known as Temple once and for all. But in Singapore during the Second World War, a lone soldier in possession of a shattering secret gets caught up in their battle. The knowledge he holds could change the course of their ancient conflict… and the fate of the world. A Whisper of Southern Lights is a standalone tale in the Assassins series by Tim Lebbon. PRAISE FOR A WHISPER OF SOUTHERN LIGHTS "A Whisper of Southern Lights is full of a beautiful melancholy that nobody does better than Lebbon. A tale of immortals engaged in a blood-spattered, centuries-old cat-and-mouse game... Read it!" —Christopher Golden, New York Times #1 bestselling author of Dead Ringers and Snowblind
